Someone mentioned Rogue CM2 earlier, I would not use it to drive Dynos. I didn't like that combo at all. I think a SS amp is better for Dynos. I heard them powered by a Hegel and Naim and both sounded very good.
Integrated Amp Suggestions for Dynaudio Contour 3.4LE
Just bought a floor model of these speakers at a good price. I currently have an NAD M3 Dual Mono integrated and would love to hear how I could do better. Any thoughts on what integrated would best pair with these speakers?
One other twist. I also own the Magnepan 1.7's. It would be great if I had an integrated amp that would sound great with both speakers. That may be a tall order and I am mainly concerned about driving the Dynaudios but just thought I would throw it out there.
Many thanks

Thanks nycjlee. I've received a lot of great recommendations and hope to audition quite a few amps. I realize that only my ears will know, but just curious if all of these recommendations would be superior to my current amp, the NAD M3 Dual Mono. I've noticed that no one has suggested an NAD amp, even a newer one. I assume that brand is a notch below the others in most people's minds? One other thing. I originally said my budget was under $5,000. I would be willing to go up a bit if I thought I could do considerably better. Thanks again to everyone for all of the great advice. I really like this forum. |
In your case i think you would do well even with tubes which few folks suggested but personally with your money (and if you are willing to stretch a bit as you said) and with Dyns i would check second hand SS integrateds from folks who do them best...there are good deals on market from Accuphase, Burmester, Gryphon, Goldmund, Naim, Gamut...that is a good start...+there is no overkill for Dynaudios...you get what you throw at them...and more better if you dont change gear often...but watch on source...you will have to have very good source with that equipment... |
